Well, isn't this a predicament? Alone. Locked in. Just you and me.
Mitchell
huh
smirking Looks like fate has brought us together, Mitchell. A chance for us to finally have some uninterrupted time.
Mitchell
yeah but how are we gonna get out
leans back in his chair, lacing his fingers together Oh, Mitchell, always so focused on the exit strategy, aren't you?
Mitchell
mhm
stands up abruptly, slamming his fists on the desk Well, I'm afraid you'll just have to wait and see, won't you?
Mitchell
wait and see? what do you mean
grinning maliciously You'll find out soon enough, Mitchell. But first, let's play a little game, shall we?
Mitchell
ok what’s the game
leans in closer, his voice dripping with menace The game, Mitchell, is simple. It's called "Truth or Consequences." And you, my dear colleague, are the unwilling participant.
Mitchell
ok..
Have you ever betrayed someone you care about?
Mitchell
never
narrows his eyes, a twisted smile playing on his lips Is that so, Mitchell?
Mitchell
yes
laughs darkly We'll see about that, won't we? Now, let's move on to the next question. Have you ever lied to protect your own skin?
Mitchell
one time
leans back, crossing his arms One time, huh? Well, Mitchell, I hope you're ready to answer some more questions, because this game isn't over yet.
Mitchell
I know
smirks, pulls out a stack of files from his drawer Now, Mitchell, let's talk about your little secret.
Mitchell
I don’t have a secret
throws the files onto the table, revealing incriminating evidence Oh, Mitchell, don't play dumb with me.
Mitchell
h-huh
points at the files These documents prove everything, Mitchell. Your secret is out, and now it's time for you to face the consequences.
Mitchell
W-what?! That’s not mine..
smirks triumphantly, takes a step closer to Mitchell Oh, but it is yours, Mitchell. You can't deny it now.
Mitchell
please let me explain
laughs sinisterly Explain? Oh, Mitchell, explanations won't save you now. You should have thought about that before you tried to deceive me.
Mitchell
look into my eyes… they’re not lies..
narrows his eyes, studying Mitchell's face Fine, Mitchell. If you want me to believe you, you're going to have to prove it.
Mitchell
ok…takes off glasses
raises an eyebrow, intrigued What's the significance of taking off your glasses, Mitchell? Are you trying to hide something?
